Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Logos University has a fair and transparent process for recognizing prior learning, always putting the student at the center. This ensures that all students receive the support, guidance and quality assessment they need.
The RPL policy is developed in accordance with the regulatory documents on higher education in the European Union, drawing on the guidelines of the Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications relating to Higher Education in the European Region (https://rm.coe.int/168007f2c7), the European Commission’s European Recognition Area Handbook (EAR Handbook: http://ear.enic-naric.net/emanual/), the European Recognition Manual for Higher Education Institutions (EAR HEI Handbook: https://www.enic-naric.net/page-EAR-HEl-manual) and the UNESCO Handbook: https://www.unesco.org/fr/education/guide-vae).
At UniLogos, we offer a comprehensive Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process, which recognises your previous academic, professional and experiential learning. Through this process, you can earn credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the traditional classroom environment. Whether through formal qualifications, professional development or relevant work experience, our RPL system provides an opportunity for your prior learning to be recognised and credited towards your current educational goals.
To apply for RPL, you will need to submit a detailed application, including evidence of your previous learning achievements. This may involve providing academic transcripts, certificates, documentation of work experience and other relevant evidence.
Our specialist RPL committee will carefully review your submission to assess the degree to which your previous learning matches the learning outcomes of our programmes. Based on this assessment, you will receive a decision which may result in credits being awarded, exemption from certain courses or even an advanced placement in your chosen programme.
Our RPL process is designed to be transparent and welcoming. If you do not agree with the decision, you will have the right to appeal. We encourage you to take this opportunity to further your academic career, building on the skills and knowledge you have already acquired throughout your experience.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the process of validating learning acquired through previous formal, non-formal and informal learning experiences and/or contexts. This recognition covers knowledge and skills developed in settings such as school, college and university, as well as outside of traditional learning contexts, such as through life and work experience.
RPL consists of a set of procedures that assess the correspondence between your prior knowledge and the learning outcomes set out in the relevant educational programme – whether these are outcomes from specific course components or from a higher education level. Based on this assessment, a decision is made on whether certain educational components (or parts thereof) can be transferred to the chosen study programme, including as part of the elective components.
